11. Germany is famous for its history and culture, and it also has some of Europe’s most wild and wonderful scenery. Here are four parks worth visiting.坚持到底的成语
The Bliesgau Biosphere
This place is home to almost half of all German flower species. The grasslands run for miles, drawing in different butterflies. Thanks to its great climate, this is an area of sustainable development. In fact, this park is an example of farming done right and offers a wealth of agricultural know-how to anyone eager to learn.
Berchtesgaden nature park
Berchtesgaden is one of Germany’s oldest and most beautiful conrvation areas. Paths go in and out of the forest, leading you along the banks of glassy lakes. The more adventurous visitors may choo paragliding (滑翔伞运动). Back on the ground, a network of more than 150 miles of walking paths goes through the forest.
Southern Black Forest nature park
The highland areas, with views over Switzerland and France, are a good place for food-lovers. Activities in the park range from hiking and fishing to mountain biking, while the slower travelers will enjoy the paths to get away from everyday life.
Jasmund nature park
It lies on the west coast of the offshore island of Rugen. This protected site is the smallest of Germany’s national park. It is here that painter Caspar David Friedrich found himlf inspired to create one of his masterpieces, Chalk Cliffs on Rigen, in 1818.

12. Many years ago, when we were a young couple with two small children, aged 2 and 4, we were practically impecunious. My in-laws lived from hand to mouth, so we didn’t expect any help from them. My parents lived a great distance away, and I was too ashamed to let them know about our situation.
My husband was trying to earn a living with an old pick﹣up truck, carrying groceries for local shopkeepers, but it was constantly breaking down. It took almost all the money we had to have it fixed. The truck was also the only means of transportation for us.
We lived in the countryside, and we always ud the back door becau the driveway led to it. One winter evening, I stepped outside to take a bag of trash to the barrel and almost tripped over something. It was nearly dark and I had to bend down to e what it was. I could hardly believe my eyes. There sat a large basket loaded with food.
It was heavy, so I called my husband to carry it into the hou. Once inside we discovered two loaves of bread, some butter, veral cans of vegetables, a can of orange sauce, and a large turkey. There was so many things that I can’t remember them all, but they were what we needed to fix a wonderful dinner - everything except potatoes.
A little while later I remembered that I hadn’t taken the trash to the barrel. Then it was dark, so I had to turn on the yard light - and that’s when I spotted a small bag of potatoes sitting on the porch.
That dinner was the best I could remember. We weren’t able to thank our donators, though, becau we never found out who had been so considerate to help a struggling young family. Whoever it was, we are forever grateful.

小猪历险记13. Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of tho people started ttling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more ttled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caud many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chine are increasingly taking over.
At prent, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of the languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many pe
ople while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa
2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are clo to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of the ems to have much chance of survival.
1. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?
A．They developed very fast. B．They were large in number.
C．They had similar patters. D．They were cloly connected
2. Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？A．Complex. B．Advanced.
C．Powerful. D．Modern.
3. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at prent?
A．About 6,800 . B．About 3,400
C．About 2,400 D．About 1,200.
4. What is the main idea of the text?
A．New languages will be created.
B．Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C．Human development results in fewer languages.
D．Geography determines language evolution.
14. Is there anybody out there? For centuries humans have wondered although the ways in which we have gone about this have varied. As we have gained a greater understanding of the univer, our arches have taken on more concrete(具体的) forms. Questions about aliens(外星人) have bec
ome a subject for science rather than science fiction.
Now new cooperation between the Very Large Array (VLA) obrvatory in New Mexico and the SETI Institute in California means that our curiosity about whether aliens exist can be clor than ever before to being satisfied. Data from the VLA’S 28 radio telescopes, ud to scan a vast area of sky, will be fed through a special supercomputer that will arch for distant signals.
How likely it is that a signal will be found, and what this might mean, are hard questions to answer. SETI’s existing projects have not discovered any signals from other planets so far. But recent discoveries in space and Earth sciences have provided some encouragement for tho who are enthusiastic about the possibility, however remote, of detecting other civilizations.
Once it was thought that our solar system could be unique. Since the discovery of the first exoplanet (a planet beyond the solar system) in the 1990s, thousands more have been
